Draper Days

It’s the most fun-filled week of the year for Draper residents with the annual Draper Days community events set for the second week of July. The rodeo kicks off the festivities the weekend before the official Draper Days. So gussy up your kids’ bikes for the parade, lace up your running shoes for the 5K, hear tunes by Creedence Clearwater Revival and Beach Boys tribute bands, and finish with fantastic fireworks on the July 14!

Salt Lake County and Draper City broke ground June 21 on an approximately 38,400-square-foot recreation center and field house, both slated for completion in winter 2019. The recreation center will house two indoor pools (one leisure and one competition lap); locker rooms; a fitness room with equipment and weights; and one multipurpose room for cardio, yoga, dance and more. Farther east and conjoined to the new recreation center by a shared entrance, a field house will be built with artificial turf to accommodate a variety of programming. Draper City contributed $2.2 million to the project, so the city will have designated times when it will be used for sports such as indoor soccer and football as well as other leagues and practices sponsored by Draper Parks and Recreation.
